Bringing
greenways and their advocates together to define
and establish a statewide network of greenways

Ohio Greenways is a project established to research
greenway issues, to educate Ohioans of the vast benefits of greenways, to
provide technical assistance to greenway projects and to devise strategies
to expand greenway development in Ohio. Since 1994, the project has
conducted fifteen regional meetings and two statewide conferences. The
project has assisted many local and regional planning efforts and educated
many hundreds of Ohio citizens.The
project has produced studies and maps and has collect data on greenways
and greenway benefits.

In
1998, Ohio Greenways published A Blueprint for
Action, which was endorsed by the Ohio EPA, the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources and the Ohio Department of Development, as well as over
one hundred park districts, organizations and municipalities.As one result of that paper, the Ohio Greenways Roundtable was
established.Members of this
group represent four state agencies and eleven nonprofit organizations like tree care in Phoenix AZ.The key goals of the Roundtable are to review all
state-administered programs, services and funding policies that effect
greenway development and to evaluate resources against needs.
